Editorial Reviews

From the master storyteller who brought the kids such surreal goodies as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, here’s a twisted treat for the grown-ups. Roald Dahl’s playfully macabre adult stories launched this legendary British television series, which continues with stories of the same creepy ilk. Mixing dark humor with horror and fantasy, the tales are tasty tidbits of the macabre, each building up to a startling final twist. A little bit Hitchcock, a little bit Twilight Zone, and wickedly entertaining.
Episode casts feature top-drawer talent, including John Mills, Leslie Caron, Derek Jacobi, Susan Penhaligon, Shiela Gish, Phoebe Nicholls, Ian Holm, and Cherie Lunghi.

3.0 out of 5 stars Stories of stories 3, August 25, 2009

This review is from: Tales of the Unexpected, Set 3 (DVD)

Accomplishing the "twenty spine chilling tales", an Australian-produced five-DVD set presents, according to producers, a cream de la cream of the Dahl's stories-tragic, deceptive, ambiguous events depicted by a strongly hilarious way.

It is good for watching in-between something more educative and mind-broadening.
